Been awhile since reading exodus. Yes, it is obvious that Moses would only have written some of it, even if it was dictated to him, since he died within its time span. Hence, my qualification. Otherwise, we would expect some reference to the miracle of prophesy in such detail. It, however, is canon that he received some at least near-dictated of not fully word-for-word, namely the Decalog.
Jews and Christians may possibly treat the Decalog as was originally written in the original language as the literal words of God, but the originals are lost to the first of time. Pretty much all other pieces of scripture less so.
I'm not so sure that it's canon that God dictated the Pentateuch to Moses, or the pieces that preceed him.
BTW, this is good push-back of my less than perfectly specified expression.
Okay, so that's not exactly what I mean. Some of the text of our scriptures contain the words of God, but the whole of the text is still a product of human efforts, albeit inspired and infallible. This is different to the Mohammedan thought that each and every word in the book is one explicitly divinely dictated. Many protestants believe like that, but it is to make the text do something it was not meant to do.
The idea of a holy book being the literal words of God was invented by Mohammad, or at least popularized by him, a full millennium before Protestantism. That's my point.
Whether it's technically anti-Christian is an aside, but it does invert authority and places the individual above the Church inasmuch. I would only call it so insofar as it prevents the worship of the Christ and places something else in His stead, namely a book, the greatest but a book nonetheless.
Same thing happening in the US and the entire western world. At least if you're any lighter skinned than a tanned Mediterranean sailor.
What's worse is that it's half true. Our culture was robbed from most of us by the government schools.
This is reason 57 that Sola Scriptura is false. Sola Scriptura is *actually* Islamic and anti-Christian. It's also why I stopped calling the Bible the "Word of God."
The Word became Flesh, not written. The Bible is a compilation of words of men which are by Christ's Church on His Behalf vetted and declared infallible. This isn't to denigrate the scriptures, but to cautiously take it down from the throne upon which only God ought to sit.
Ot is true, infallible, and inspired, yet still not God Himself, worthy of worship. We worship the God-Man, not the words written about Him.
Ask yourselves why the Bible and lectern replaced the altar as the centerpiece of Protestant service. Look to any ancient church, and you will find an altar in the center, not a pulpit.
"Control the price of" is a very dangerous phrase. Be very careful.
We got into this mess because of governmental intervention and playing with the knobs and levers of the money printer.
End money printing and fractional reserve banking, and the sudden dollar debt supply shock will level housing costs. Make the banks play on an even playing field.
Better yet, use a currency with which the government and banks can't make a mess.

What is a "waste balloon?" π is it like "wasted" as in "to be killed?"
My somewhat inexperienced opinion too. I spent 4mo there while in college. It was fun. I think inflation was worse there since I was there in 2011.
I remember hearing about the inflation since the Korean War when a 700won payout was issued to the family of a fallen soldier, which was at the time worth about $0.50, maybe less.
Food then was cheaper. A 15k-won/person meal at a sungyupsal/bulgogi place was pretty good, which felt at the time like $13 does today.
I sorta learned Korean, but I didn't put enough effort into it to really converse. I do like their writing system, though!
